NG (No Gum) is what happens when a stamp has no adhesive. Early stamps were made without gum on them, so the user needed to have his own glue or paste to affix the stamp to the envelope. This might be that it went through the mail without being cancelled and was soaked off the envelope, or it got wet and lost it. OG (Original Gum) is obviously worth more to a collector.
